Chapter 793: Chapter 490: Three-Way Melee and Seizing the Primordial Source_2
Xuandu’s words made everyone’s heart tremble violently.
"That was a straightforward statement!"
Moreover, everyone knew that many powerhouses of the Vast Wilderness were present, making any attempt to cheat exceedingly difficult.
Since those Vast Wilderness powerhouses had already announced the start of the competition and felt nothing unusual about the current scene within the arena, it indicated one thing: they tacitly accepted this situation.
With this realization, the sentiments of those from the Dao Sect became much calmer.
"Just watch! Haoxuan will seize this position," Xuandu said calmly.
Many cast their gazes upon Xuandu, expressing profound respect for him.
As expected of the Dao Sect’s eldest senior brother, to possess such an extraordinary state of mind and such piercing insight.
Meanwhile, in the Buddha Sect, the Tathagata just smiled.
As one privy to some inside information, he naturally knew quite a bit about the inside story and understood why Xuandu was so composed.
"Boom!!"
In the arena, Ye Haoxuan, fighting against two opponents, staggered back from the fierce clash, blood spilling from his mouth and nose after being jointly repelled by Yang Yi and Ke Zhenyu.
This scene clenched the hearts of many onlookers.
Among the multitude of beings, many still firmly believed that Ye Haoxuan would claim first place and become the true Son of Heavenly Destiny.
"A three-way battle is most perilous for the strongest contender; a two-pronged alliance can overpower his solitary might!" lamented Wu Zetian.
All three were top geniuses, with Yang Yi and Ke Zhenyu swiftly forming an alliance, a testament to their decisiveness and wisdom.
"Ye Haoxuan has created many miracles. Even faced with a two-person alliance, we can still hold on to some hope," Ying Zheng commented.
He had personally bet on Ye Haoxuan’s victory, and now that the situation looked grim, he was essentially trying to encourage himself.
The other rulers of the immortal dynasties shared their opinions, most not optimistic about Ye Haoxuan’s prospects.
"Wu Yun, you’ve sparred with Ye Haoxuan and should have the most direct impression. Do you think Ye Haoxuan can turn the tide against this headwind?" Emperor Tian inquired.
His focus remained fixed on the thrilling duel within the arena, unwilling to miss a moment of the action.
"I cannot be certain about Ye Haoxuan. When he was in a match against me, it seemed as if he harbored a mysterious power. When pushed to the brink, that power would be unleashed. This time, I believe Ye Haoxuan is still prepared!" Wu Yun stated with certainty.
"Not just Ye Haoxuan. When I fought with Ke Zhenyu, it seemed like he also harbored such a power. If not for that, I would not have been defeated!" Mo Yao’er’s eyes flashed with a hint of peculiarity.
Emperor Tian was also briefly taken aback, recalling something similar during his bout with Yang Yi.
The three fell silent for a moment but quickly reacted.
"Have these three cheated?" Mo Yao’er was the first to speak up.
All being Sons of Heavenly Destiny, if it was not cheating, why did those three have such a power while they did not?
The instincts of Emperor Tian and the others were in sync.
Each of them had fought against the trio of Ye Haoxuan and ended in defeat.
Most importantly, when facing others in battle, they did not perceive their opponents to be significantly stronger than themselves.
Yet, at the crucial moment, their foes seemed to gain a mysterious power, turning defeat into victory.
Emperor Tian and his companions had thought their adversaries had a contingency plan.
But now it seemed it was not so simple?
"If these people have indeed cheated, afterwards I must report to the Empress and have her seek justice for me!" Mo Yao’er said through clenched teeth.
Such an offense could not be tolerated.
No one would find it easy to endure such a thing.
Nevermind the struggle for Heavenly Destiny, to be defeated by cheaters was simply unacceptable to them.
"Let’s continue watching!" Emperor Tian said coldly.
He was inherently proud and had been open-hearted when combating Ke Zhenyu. Although he had been defeated afterward, he still admired Ke Zhenyu; however, now that admiration had dissipated like smoke.
It was just that at this pivotal moment of the Heavenly Destiny struggle, they had to refrain from making a scene.
After all, the backgrounds of these three individuals were not slight in the slightest.
The Heavenly Court, the Demon Clan, and the Witch Clan were all major powers in the Vast Wilderness, capable of causing a stir with a single stomp.
They could not swallow this affront!
Back in the arena, Ye Haoxuan found himself caught in a pincer move between Yang Yi and Ke Zhenyu, one on each side.
"Brother Ye, although it might seem dishonorable for us two to join forces, you are too strong, leaving us no choice but to resort to this strategy!" said Ke Zhenyu gracefully.
Although Yang Yi remained silent, he also recited a Buddhist chant with a hint of apology.
He, too, felt somewhat remorseful.
But within the struggle for Heavenly Destiny, none of them wanted to give up.
Not only for themselves, but also for the forces behind them, they did not want to let down the expectations of those people.
Moreover, a three-way battle, two against one, was absolutely permitted, with no breach of the rules.
"You two may join forces to eliminate me from the competition," Ye Haoxuan said with a smile, "but afterwards, how will you divide the spoils?" No matter what, both of you will be enemies, can you really cooperate so closely?"
However, neither Yang Yi nor Ke Zhenyu paid any attention to Ye Haoxuan’s attempt to sow discord between them.
They were well aware that they would become adversaries.
But their biggest threat at the moment was Ye Haoxuan.
Once Ye Haoxuan was out of the way, they would deal with everything else.
"Clang!"
Ke Zhenyu’s spear sang as Yang Yi raised his hand again.
This time, they were not going to give Ye Haoxuan any chance to turn the tables.
Seeing the two of them approach, Ye Haoxuan also mustered all his strength.
He remembered the humiliation of being jilted all those years ago, he did not want to be looked down upon again.
He also remembered the face of his master Xuandu, not wanting to disappoint him!
"Kill!" Ye Haoxuan drew his sword!
High above in the celestial dome, the ancient beings of the Vast Wilderness watched everything.
"Tongtian spoke, saying that in this battle, Ye Haoxuan must win, becoming the Son of Heavenly Destiny. Do we need to intervene a little?" Tongtian asked.
"There’s no need," Nu Wa replied. "Whether it’s the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning or the Supreme of the Dao Realm, they wouldn’t dare to truly act against the Vast Wilderness or encroach upon it. They wish to hunt the Venerable Undying from outside the domain, so they are unlikely to make any mistakes. What we need to do is closely monitor the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning and the Supreme of the Dao Realm. Eventually, it will be a battle for the Primordial Source!"
The ancient beings of the Vast Wilderness agreed with this logic and did not give it any further thought.
Both the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning and the Supreme of the Dao Realm were indeed managing their measures.
"By now, the Undying must be unable to sit still. He will definitely pour a significant amount of Primordial Source into Ye Haoxuan!" one speculated.
"Let’s not hurry, let’s first stimulate Ye Haoxuan’s fighting spirit, tempting the Undying to place his bets!" another suggested.
At that moment, within the Youhai Domain.
"What should we do now, Undying? These damnable Creatures of Primordial propose a three-way fight. If it were a single combat, Ye Haoxuan wouldn’t fear any one of them, but now..." Mingling furrowed his brows.
"This time, we cannot afford to fail. A failure now means we won’t know how long until we get such a good opportunity again. Prepare to pour a vast amount of Primordial Source into him! The more the better. If Ye Haoxuan wins, the Heavenly Destiny of the Vast Wilderness will emerge, as will the Primordial Source of the Vast Wilderness, and that will be the opportune time to seize it!" Undying said gravely.
Yet excitement could hardly be concealed in his eyes.
He had been planning for so long, invested so much—wasn’t this the moment he was waiting for?
No matter what, he would not give up so easily.
"Good!" Mingling had been waiting for just these words.
He had already prepared Iron Forest Domain’s Primordial Source.
He not only wanted to seize from the Vast Wilderness but also to snatch from the jaws of the Undying.
Thus, the Primordial Source had to be substantial.
With a commotion, the Venerate God Tower was once again summoned.
This time, under Mingling’s guidance, the surging domain Primordial Source rushed toward the Venerate God Tower at an incredible speed.
Bathed in radiance atop the Venerate God Tower, once the Primordial Source was infused, it used the tower as a bridge, hurtling toward the Vast Wilderness, toward Ye Haoxuan.
In the Vast Wilderness.
Sun Wukong looked at the abundant Primordial Source he had intercepted with some surprise.
These outsiders were indeed generous and willing to invest heavily.
"If I manage this successfully, you’ll have the resources to ascend to two thousand nine hundred Dao Divine Patterns," Sun Wukong said to Pan Gu with a smile.
Pan Gu was surprised.
Although he was just one opportunity away from reaching two thousand nine hundred Dao Divine Patterns, the required resources were nearly inconceivable.
"Wukong, there’s no need to deplete the foundation of the Vast Wilderness just for my ascent," Pan Gu said.
He thought Sun Wukong was planning to exhaust the Vast Wilderness’s essence for his sake.
"No, someone is being exceedingly generous, bringing us lots of resources," Sun Wukong laughed.
Pan Gu seemed to realize something, his eyes suddenly brightening.
"Here it comes!"
Just as the Primordial Source from the Undying began to surge tumultuously, both the Supreme of the Dao Realm and the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning felt a thrill of excitement. Prey was approaching, ready for the taking.
But before they acted, they planned to extract everything possible from the Undying.
